Yes, I know.
you can also use
ln -sf usr/bin/opal_wrapper.exe /usr/bin/mpif90
ln -sf usr/bin/opal_wrapper.exe /usr/bin/mpif77
It is due to the interation of openmpi double link
and cygport post-install rename of links.
1.8.5 will not have the issue, as I proposed a patch upstream
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi-release/commit/1147ddee73e84f80e27799e77391fc74033a6391
